Over the years the FZ has been updated with small changes according to customer feed back and also colours refreshed every now and then. Come 2014 and Yamaha made the announcement that they will be totally revamping the FZ and displayed what it would look like at the Auto Expo 2014. It was just a matter of time then before the launch and on 30th June, 2014 Yamaha India announced the new Yamaha FZ V2.0 and new Yamaha FZ-S V2.0 in India.
The engine on the new Yamaha FZ/FZ-S V2 is all new, and although visually it looks the same, a lot of the internals have been changed. What the engine looses in capacity(4 cc), it makes up for with an overall loss in weight, lighter by almost 1.5 kgs. And although the power and torque figures of 13.1 PS @ 8000 RPM and 12.8 Nm @ 6000 RPM are slightly lesser than the previous FZ, the crucial timings remain pretty much the same. 0 to 100 comes up in 18.6 seconds and it reaches a top speed of 116 kmph. But then, this is not the best part of this engine.At about 90 thousand on road, the new FZ/FZ-S is definitely not cheap for a 150cc.But overall it is a very well built machine and can be your true, no fuss, city riding companion for years to come.
